374: The Great Decisive Battle (Part 1)

Almost simultaneously, throughout the Blood Demon Realm, hundreds of streaks of light soared into the sky.

They converged towards the ten Golden Immortal Rank beings who had descended.

These were all the Profound Immortals who had recently advanced in the Blood Demon Realm.

Among them were Xue Qin, Cao Yunqing, and the long-unseen Ye Kongwu.

Xiao Zhuo was quite familiar with the Qi of many Profound Immortals.

Buzz!

Space rippled, and Xue Tian, clad in a blood-red imperial robe, appeared below the ten colossal figures, positioned between the Profound Immortals and the ten Golden Immortals of time.

His surrounding Qi was terrifyingly immense, subtly surpassing any of the ten Golden Immortals.

"Has Xue Tian broken through to the Golden Immortal Rank?" Xiao Zhuo felt a premonition upon seeing this scene.

With Xue Tian's power, coupled with the Blood Demon Realm's Heavenly Dao's blessing, it was uncertain if he could triumph against these ten clearly extraordinary Golden Immortal Rank existences.

The ten Golden Immortal Rank existences all exuded a terrifying pressure that caused even the Heavenly Dao's Law to twist and disintegrate.

Their Qi intertwined into an absolute Domain of death, declaring that the final movement of this catastrophe had already begun.

"Roar—!"

"Hehehe..."

"Purify!"

"We... shall be Reborn!"

Ten intentions, some violent, some sinister, some with a hint of imperceptible pity, but their core was unified—destroy the beings of this realm and seize the opportunity for Rebirth!

Xue Tian stood in the Void Realm, his blood-red imperial robe fluttering without wind, rustling loudly.

Standing alone, he seemed to be the backbone of the entire world, single-handedly resisting the world-destroying pressure brought by the ten Golden Immortals.

The overbearing Dao Principle flowing around him was like an invisible Domain, withstanding all the pressure from the ten Golden Immortals.

"A bunch of decaying bones that should have long rotted away, dare to covet my world?" Xue Tian's voice was icy and devoid of emotion, yet it clearly resonated in every being's mind, carrying an unquestionable authority, "The will of the boundary sea granted you imprints, but it was merely to use you to temper us. Rebirth? Delusional!"

"Arrogant!" A Golden Immortal Crocodile Dragon, resembling an ancient giant crocodile with jagged bone-spur mountains on its back, let out an earth-shattering roar, its Blood Wind sweeping for thousands of miles, "We are all Golden Immortals, comprehending a complete Great Dao! Even if our bodies perish and our Dao disappears, our imprints endure through time. Today marks the true beginning of our revival! The beings of the Blood Demon Realm shall all be the nourishment for our Rebirth!"

"No more talk, kill!" Another lava giant, composed entirely of molten rock and obsidian with spiraling giant horns on its head, growled. Its massive fist, burning with flames that could incinerate all things, ruthlessly slammed towards Xue Tian!

Space shattered inch by inch under its fist!

"Attack!" Xiao Zhuo roared, his figure transforming into a bolt of lightning that tore through the Void Realm, directly rushing towards the eight-winged angel with a holy aura!

The angel's face was incomparably beautiful, and pure light emanated from his body. His eight light wings spread out, each inscribed with ancient divine script.

He held a broken Holy Sword, his eyes intertwined with pain and resolve.

"The strong ones of this realm..." The angel's will transmitted, carrying a complex sigh, "My name is Lidar, a general under Archangel Agriel of the Light God Realm. I also do not wish to commit such slaughter... but I must be Reborn! The vengeance for the Divine Realm's downfall is unfulfilled, and there are those I wish to see... still waiting at the other end of time! Those who obstruct my Rebirth are all enemies!"

"Each for their own Dao, no need for more words!" Xiao Zhuo's eyes were sharp as blades. The Free and Natural Heavenly Art operated to its extreme, and myriad Laws condensed around him. A terrifying seven-colored fist print, brimming with power, slammed towards Lidar!

At the same time, Xue Qin, Cao Yunqing, Ye Kongwu, and the other Profound Immortals divided into four torrents, fearlessly charging towards the remaining four Golden Immortals!

Xue Qin's demonic flames surged, directly targeting the lava giant.

Cao Yunqing's blood sea churned, entangling a thousand-legged centipede made of purple crystal, which released a highly toxic Domain.

Ye Kongwu's Sword Intent soared, meeting a Death Knight (a Golden Immortal) covered in pale bone armor and wielding a giant scythe.

The last two newly advanced Middle Stage Profound Demons jointly attacked a bizarre sea demon resembling an octopus, which stirred up a mental storm.

Behind them, each brought more than a dozen Profound Demons. They didn't seek victory but had to hold off these Golden Immortal Rank beings until Xue Tian dealt with his opponent.

"Ants trying to shake heaven!" The lava giant roared, and its massive fist collided violently with Xue Qin's demonic flames!

Boom—!!!

An indescribably terrifying energy instantly erupted! It was as if billions of suns exploded simultaneously above the Blood Demon Realm! Blinding light swallowed everything, and a violent energy shockwave swept across the eight directions in a ring!

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Above the thirteen giant cities, the crimson barrier/boundary, empowered by Xue Tian's will, violently shook, emitting a mournful groan of being overwhelmed. Its surface instantly became covered with spiderweb-like cracks!

The giant cities themselves shook violently, and countless buildings collapsed under the tremors! If not for Xue Tian's supreme power protecting them, the thirteen giant cities might have been annihilated in the first collision!

However, the land and oceans outside the barrier/boundary suffered a catastrophic disaster!

In the direction of Beilu Prefecture, a vast continental plate was struck by the residual shockwave of the lava giant's fist, instantly vaporizing and disappearing, leaving behind a bottomless lava abyss!

The West Sand Sea was torn open by the Death Knight (a Golden Immortal)'s giant scythe. Seawater poured in, forming a terrifying rift valley spanning several prefectures!

The most tragic was Wuyun Prefecture!

The octopus sea demon, which was entangled with two Profound Demons, was severely hit by the residual shockwave of Ye Kongwu's clash with the Death Knight (a Golden Immortal), along with a group of Profound Demons!

Its massive mental tentacles wildly flailed, attempting to resist, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

"Woo—!!!"

A shriek, sharp enough to tear the Soul, echoed through the sky!

The entire land of Wuyun Prefecture was as if violently slapped and crushed by an invisible giant hand!

Continuous mountain ranges instantly collapsed, vast plains caved into bottomless pits, and surging rivers were evaporated and cut off!

One of the Blood Demon Realm's six great prefectures, in a matter of seconds, was literally submerged!

Completely wiped off the map!

Billions of beings, along with the time demons remaining on that land, instantly turned into nothingness!

"As expected, very strong—!" Xiao Zhuo, who was fiercely fighting Lidar, sensed the tragic state of Wuyun Prefecture, his heart slightly tensing. After only a dozen breaths of battle, the Qi of six Profound Immortals had instantly extinguished in the previous collision!

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He fiercely repelled Lidar's Holy Light judgment, and his figure, like a bolt of lightning, shot back above No. 6 Giant City.

At this moment, Wang Xianyu and the other Cultivators were doing their best to maintain the precarious barrier/boundary of the giant city.

"Xianyu!" Xiao Zhuo's voice directly resonated in Wang Xianyu's mind. Simultaneously, an imperceptible spatial fluctuation sent a hexagonal crystal into her hand, "Guard it well! If this Clone of mine perishes, then give it to my main body in the future."

Wang Xianyu's mind was greatly shaken, instantly understanding something. Her eyes filled with determination, and she nodded heavily: "Disciple... I obey!"

Xiao Zhuo had no more worries.

He took one last deep look at this land where he had fought bloody battles for ninety days, at Xue Tian's figure, who was fighting five Golden Immortals with earth-shattering and unparalleled dominance, and at the battlefield where Profound Immortals were constantly falling in bloody struggles... "Free and Natural Heavenly Art... Soul Burning Golden Flame!"

A deep roar, like a final war song, echoed deep within Xiao Zhuo's Divine Soul!

Boom—!!!

Blazing golden flames, without warning, shot up from within Xiao Zhuo's Clone!

That was no ordinary fire, but a brand new Dao fire he had created based on the Soul Burning Golden Flame. By burning the Divine Soul with it, he could maximize his own power, unleashing a hundredfold increase in combat strength.

The dazzling golden flames completely ignited all the power, including the Divine Soul power, contained within this lightning source wood Clone of creation!

Golden flames burned the sky! A terrifying Qi, though far less vast than Xue Tian's, but equally surpassing ordinary Golden Immortals, erupted!

At this moment, the power of Xiao Zhuo's Clone was forcibly elevated to the Golden Immortal Rank!
